Shallow DOF
have just bought a smc 50 1.2 , it seems to have a very shallow depth of field ,one half of the mask is in focus the other not , is this because its made for 35mm? (k200d)

Shallow DOF
it was taken at 100 asa f2.8 1/60sec in available light which was not all that good , its also quite difficult to determine the focus on the standard screen. will have to experiment to get the best results.

Duxford Best of British Airshow 17/5/09
Here's a selection of images from the Best of British Airshow at Duxford on Sunday, with typical British weather, rain and crosswinds which was challenging for the pilots. The jets were taken at 1/750 and the propeller aircraft and Chinook at 1/350. Good to see Sa...

Duxford Best of British Airshow 17/5/09 & 60-250mm
I saw some on another forum taken at Abingdon. Didn't they have the RAF C17 take off from there during the show? Yes that's right, unfortunately I missed that one because my 60-250 had come off and my 16-50 was back on :roll: I was taking the odd picture from my brother's back garden (family get to...

Duxford Best of British Airshow 17/5/09 & 60-250mm
Great shots there especially the Hawk and the Mustang :D The chap that owns the P40 is based at North Weald airfield not far from where I live and he owns 3 other warbirds. He flew that at the Shuttleworth Collection Spring Air Show later on the same day which I was at as well and came back wit...

A fountain in Philadelphia
The fountain looks great with that water so soft, it looks very special. Only the blue/yellow top of the building is distracting for me, it's also preciesly on a focus point in the image. Maybe you can do something about that?

Mirror mirror
The focus in the first one seems to be more on the green leaf to the left. Having said that, you are correct on this bug being ugly....but also interesting. Your Lilly looked wonderful...I love the green depth of field.

Some type of wasp ?
You could have taken them much quicker!.......:lol::lol: Nope, manual focus & single shot. My K10D has never been set to machine gun mode. Suppose I could have taken video though and posted a 4gig file :roll:

Some type of wasp ?
Now I am out of panick mode I tried again and thankfully they were just smears. I have cleaned it again and the sensor is a lot better but the last shot was at f13, the new one at f22 shows the scratch is a s bad as always so it will have to go back to Pentax at some stage I suppose. Just dont wa...

Some type of wasp ?
Just dont want to be without it for months. You could always contact them for an estimate of cost and timescale for repair, paid jobs might get more attention than freebie warranty work:wink: I sent my istD several years ago for a spring clean and focus screen replacing, it cost me £50, posted i...

Lester A Dine 105mm Macro
I believe the Vivitar and Kiron are the same lens as the Lester?? It is a bit heavier than the D-FA and the focus movement is wonderfully smooth, so far I like what I see. What made you want to swap anyway:?:

We had bubble and we had smoke, now let's have both :)
Hi Amin, I was going to suggest bubbles and smoke to you! I like photo 2 myself. Still working on the camera and lens! In a moment of dillusion I was thinking of upgraded to the K-7, but having read all the forums and come back to my senses have ordered a K20D. So that will just leave the macr...

Like the lizard, but would prefer it if you had included the tail, or perhaps had got more in front of him. . TBH flower shots don`t do much for me, and cannot coment on macro dof but clearly the stamen to the right is out of focus. Davex.

Dragons!
The lizard's head is out of focus. It looks like you've focussed on the body and just taken the shot expecting DOF to fix it. f8 is OK for macro, but if you want more of your subject in focus you need to set it accordingly. f16 & f22 are my preferred apertures. The flower shot too is out of focus...

Thanks Peter but what is a back focussing issue? Yes, they were both AF.
